@ogo79 That sucks! There was only one time I got a shipment that was little broken. It was from LRG and the case of the Switch game was smashed on the edge. It is also concerning that it was the only time I did NOT donate to the Game Preservation on their site I hope it was coincidence!

wow.
anytime i ever shipped anything i wrapped box tape around it that says "fragile" on the tape.
i sent a buddy of mine from this site a package of over like 600 dollars worth of games and i was really concerned lol

@Sunsy I heard about that one, it'll be interesting to see how they managed to implement that on various home consoles. Hopefully that'll introduce me to some decent visual novels! Not only did I refer to Sonic, but also Hop (a movie from the ever terrible Illumination) involving James Marsden and a CGI rabbit played by Russell Brand. You could tell he was still suffering from his marriage to Katy Perry, it was nigh on atrocious.

@ThanosReXXX Handling PS. stuff first; I'll make it up to you and @Tyranexx for my awful photograph, with this one. It's a sticky toffee pudding. The lighting was rubbish in my original one so this one's sure to make you two salivate. I can also promise that it tasted infinitely better than the photo suggests!

While I do agree with the video being whiny, it doesn't and shouldn't detract from the main point, that Nintendo's legacy content track record is not very good. I've stated before that there was potential for a lot of effort and it wasn't there. I even remember joking that it could have been done by one person in a week. And I've listened to the guy's other work, like his video game "retrospectives", and they're very high quality listens. Whether this is a blotch in his copybook or not it's still a point that's better exposed than left behind and forgotten.

I had to look VanVelzen up to realise what you were talking about, he's THAT short? Well some people use this as their defining trait, like Peter Dinklage, who found his calling as the midget Tyrion Lannister. I'm still trying to work out just what kind of television I like, but I'll keep that rec for a rainy day! My thanks!

What you said to @WoomyNNYes... I can more or less say too. Moderating yourself until you know people'll put up with it is important. I've come across to friends as "in your face", and I can remember some of the most bizarre ways I met them. I met one friend by mistaking them for another of my friends, funnily.

One thing worth mentioning though, I wouldn't recommend just being honest if you know you're going to hurt someone, and then just calling it honesty. I'm not saying you've done it, far from it, but that caution will be rewarded greatly.

Great questions! I'll give 'em a shot, see how it goes...

I feel like Sony is doing a serviceable job with the PS4/5 upgrade scheme. They're giving players opportunities to play their games on better hardware, for free. I think some issues that've been raised recently (like the Ghost of Tsushima upgrade) are completely unfounded, and that people are complaining more or less for nothing.

I'd like to know why and how CD Projekt Red went from a lauded developer known for accessibility, listening to players, and transparency, to the eldritch horror that released Cyberpunk 2077 incomplete and buggy. And just how the hell Hello Games turned around No Man's Sky.

If I was the CEO of Nintendo I'd start by making better legacy content programs. Port some more Wii U games, and outsource some port job / collection projects to other studios (1-Up, Retro, Next Level Games, Camelot, Monolith, Saber, Panic Button), to tide people over while major first party titles are being developed (nothing changes there). Emphasis on collections, because it'll give people more value for their money without having to make an actual game.

This is my Looney Tunes disc calendar 2004. The first desk calendar i created with computer.
Untitled

The calendar came in DVD size shape with DVD logo on it. I drew the Looney Tunes characters on paper then i scanned to computer, proceed with Corel Photopaint as my first drawing software i learnt back on year 2003. Since it was my first experience drawing on computer, i added the background with wallpaper or certain images from Google image as learning process.

Question for you all; have you seen the documentary ā€œBowling for Columbineā€? Tagging a few of you who I imagine have, or can give some interesting insight (@ThanosReXXX, @WoomyNNYes, @SM3DASislit, @Tyranexx, among others). I just finished watching it and it’s… so eye opening. There was a montage in the first half of the film that listed examples of America’s aggression overseas (as a counter to an executive’s argument that ballistic missiles made by Lockheed Martin at the time were made solely for self-defence), including them supplying money and arms to Saddam Hussein, plus even giving full CIA training to Osama bin Laden, who ended up doing… horrifying things. I didn’t even realise this and the worst part is that nobody cared, due to the Columbine High shooting. And that opens a whole new can of worms with gun control, that two teenagers proven to be clinically mentally ill were able to get guns and ammo.

For fairness' sake, if anyone wants me to delete it, do tell me and I'll gladly oblige! While I want to spark positive discussion there's no knowing how it could be misinterpreted.

@Anti-Matter There's a news post about it on the front page now. It's not a massive upgrade but I thought you'd like it because it has white Joy-Cons

Come on Nintendo, give us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Switch Online

@Dogorilla
I saw that just now.
The color scheme was exactly 99% same as my Nintendo Switch currently (3rd party White Joy Cons shell with 4 colored buttons + White dock from ACNH bundle bought separated from online shop) šŸ˜€

I am glad that the "new" Switch is NOT that big of an upgrade to the original one! I mean there will be no exclusive games for it etc.

I only wonder is there will be better cooling or they will remain the same as we all know OLED screens produce more heat because every pixel (dot) is glowing for itself.

Oh and it has 64GB internal storage ... which is nice but I am 100% physical gamer on the Switch so that does not concern me at all yet

@TheJGG I'm not sure I'll leave this whole post, since it delves into politics. I may delete all or most of it. So you may have to see it all in your email notifications. This is a fairly slapped together summary. Forgive me for that.

Yes, guns are too easy to get in the us. Too easy for everyone, criminals included.

< I deleted everything else >

Hopefully @TheJGG has email notifications on, because you my sloppy outline of how political money in the US has been deregulated, and essentially legalized bribery. I wish that was hyperbole.

Revoking of the FCC's Fairness Doctorine was part of the rise of demonizing politics in the US.
